Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold, it bends under torture
15.01.2026 • 08h22
With two hinges and record-breaking thinness, Samsung's latest foldable smartphone is the perfect target for this YouTuber who specializes in torturing electronic devices.
Sensitive viewers beware. The video above shows a brand new Galaxy Z Trifold undergoing the worst tortures, all in the name of science. The crash test by the YouTube channel JerryRigEverything. Zack Nelson of the YouTube channel JerryRigEverything specializes in testing the durability of electronic gadgets, verifying manufacturers' claims about the robustness of their devices. His concept also has a touch of sadism. Unique in its three-panel folding design, Samsung's latest smartphone is subjected to knife cuts, unnatural bends, and even flames on the screen. In short: as a first-generation device, the Galaxy Z Trifold is naturally far less durable than a Galaxy Z Fold 7, which has also already been through Zack's hands. For example, it lacks dust resistance; the hinges creak as soon as any fine particles get on the internal screen. Also, with a little force, a simple reverse fold completely renders the device unusable. The moral of the story: take care of your gadgets, and avoid entrusting them to careless children.
